Betrothed to a man she has never met, Francesca vows to marry a man of her own choosing at all costs. She flees to the deep and dangerous shadows of the mountains, only to be abducted by Le Diable -- the fierce leader of a group of brigands. -- Francesca fights her own hunger for the passionate stranger even as it consumed her. She becomes his mistress, a willful, spirited hellcat who makes him forget his vow that no female will ever claim him. And their passion so long fought, their love so long denied, flourishes magically, capturing them both forever.
